[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 1357961, member: 14209"] To answer your question about firing the standard 6.5-06 in the Improved chamber, the answer is yes. Quality cartridge will custom make brass, but I believe that you need to place an order of several thousand to get them to tool up to do a custom run. They are very expensive anyway if available costing $2 apiece. When re-barreling, make sure your barrel is a 1/8” twist,(mine is a 1-9” won’t stabilize 140g bullets). 3100fps is possible with a 140g with the right powder. I’ve chronyed mine at 3200fps with a 129g Hornady SST and RL-22. Let me know where I can help. Dan [/QUOTE]
